Re: perl or java

[Justin <da...@io...>]

I think Markus makes a great point.  Whichever language the developer
is best at is probably the best one to use.

I'll just throw in my two cents since I haven't seen anyone yet address
Java's LDAP capabilities.

Java uses the JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) to access 
LDAP directories.  It actually covers more than just LDAP, and can
be used for DNS and a few other data types that fit into the directory
model.  Java is typically very well documented in my experience and
Sun has a nice set of information here:

I've used both the Java and Perl implementations and found them both
to be usable and not all that different.  Again, it's really a choice of 
language.


Best of luck,
 Justin
